Fulton facing two-match ban

Wests Tigers back rower Liam Fulton is in danger of missing the opening round of the NRL season after being charged with making a dangerous throw in Saturday night's All Stars match.

Fulton was slapped with a grade two dangerous throw charge for his ugly tackle on Indigenous All Stars captain Johnathan Thurston during the NRL All Stars' 28-12 win at Robina.

He faces two weeks on the sidelines with an early guilty plea and three matches should he unsuccessfully contest the charge.

Either guilty finding would wipe Fulton out of the Tigers' round one clash against Canterbury, with players only allowed to count one trial match as part of their suspension.

Canberra's Tom Learoyd-Lahrs can escape suspension with an early guilty plea after making late contact with his knees on Brett Morris, while Ryan James will miss one match with an early plea for a crusher tackle.
